Fantasy Tip: Fujikawa just returned from his long rehab from Tommy John surgery, so realistically expecting him to record some saves in high-leverage situations this year is unlikely. However, he could be in consideration for the role next spring.

Chicago Cubs RP Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) is close to returning to the team after rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He has a 0.77 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings in 12 rehab outings this year. He last pitched in the majors in May of last season.

Chicago Cubs RP Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) is scheduled to throw one inning for Triple-A Iowa Monday, Aug. 4. The team has not decided if he will be activated from the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Aug. 5.
